    That's the spirit. Keep turning a blind eye. It's all those pesky stewards faults for forcing the innocent little angels to keep being dicks and breaking rules.

    It's amazing just how often you defend behaviour of a tiny minority of fans.

    I'm just impressed that they can get a good enough signal to stream anything. I could walk round the 92 grounds quicker than I can look up scores on BBC sport.

    Im quiet shocked anyone.would go to the lengths of filming a game for 90mins and putting it live on fb. And as for bringing your own refreshments in..... Ban me I'm guilty but the club don't sell midget gems or pork pies so I had no choice that's my defence anyway

    It's not against the law, that would mean criminal activity outlined by the Crown. Though it is a possible violation of any conditions of sale of an event ticket, if such regulations are in place. Which is basically breaking a contract. That may lead to a civil action by the 'injured' party. I didn't realise we had such regs at Oakwell. It's never been stated on any sales conditions I ever received when purchasing a ticket. Though I can completely understand why Doyle's firm don't want to appear on photos or film..

    I think we should all hand ourselves in, next home game. :D

    To be fair you'd only have to walk round 46.

    I'm still waiting for the scores from Saturday to come up so if they don't come up by Tuesday will work round the other half.

    When a pub or restaurant doesn't do your favourite Sausage and Mash do you ask the waiter to hold five minutes whilst you go bring some in from elsewhere?

    Or if you walk in and the pub doesn't do Carling do you go grab a tin from the offie next door?

    It's such a petty 'offence' but your logic is completely flawed. Doing yourself no favours in this thread mate.

    Isn't it more like nipping to poundland for some sweeties and taking them into the cinema rather than mortgaging your granny for pick and mix given that it's not the primary purpose of Bfc to flog food like it is a restaurant

    Re: look at the name on the back of stewards vest

    5-10 years ago the cubicles would be forever empty as they had the original purpose. Now queue longer than for urinals. Doesn't take a genius to see where activity is taking place.

    I'd the club banned everyone who brought there own snap in the gate would be halved. Im not saying I don't use the bfc refreshment facilities but I'm guilty for bringing my own midget gems in and the odd pork pie I'm not going to lie. Imagine banning all the old blokes who have been st holders for 30 years but bring their own flask instead of paying 3 quid a pop... they would be up roar. And I'm sorry.I'll only but from the bfc bar from now on what is on offer.

    Bringing your own snap, folk taking photos or filming stuff, it's been going on for years and will continue to. It's news to me that the stewards were clamping down on such things. I have merely stated the FA/FL rules. I can only assume the stewards are acting on instruction. Like I say, news to me. Maybe one for any future fan forums or whatever.

    Imagine if everyone wanted to purchase refreshments at Oakwell? There'd be no time for football...

    While we're at it. I never gave my permission for the club to photograph me and violate my image rights. Where are the 10-15,000 disclaimers that would need signing every match, before Stretch gets his camera out and the telly cameras start rolling....

    I'm here all night... :D

    You forfeited those rights when you started eighting your own snap.

    Aye what about when I tell the missis having not seen her since Friday that I won't be back until late on Tuesday night from that London rather than tell her I'm going straight to Oakwell and there I am in next times match programme caught in the gimp in the crowd section. I don't give permission for me to be filmed I ma bring my own stewards to enforce thus particularly rargeting Anyone with a large forehead and a bigger err 'tripod'.

    When they cater for vegans, I will patronise the famous facilities...

    That's given me an idea for the next fans forum though, cheers. Now, just how big a pain in the arse can i be with this one..? :)

    I used to sit in the east stand upper (I have scince moved to the ponty) but back then they were loads of oldish (60+) blokes around me who used to bring their own flasks with whatever in I suppose they couldn't be bothered with the ques or they didn't want to pay 3 quid for some hot water and abit of coffee. Imagine if the stewards went over to.the people said no sorry it's in the rules were going to have to evict you and take your season pass off you, they would be uproar.

    I still have the occasional veggie meal and always thoroughly enjoy them.
    Never seen Garry O'Connor's eyeballs since then, though.:D
